I have this odd problem

Recently i failed to cancel a print job and inadvertently shut down my comp

when i rebooted it failed to reboot the flash page would occur the windows xp start up would happen and then before switching to the windows screen from the black windows screen a blue screen with text would flicker on for a second and then close out immediately not giving me enough time to read it. it then reboots itself and asks if i want to start in safe mode with or without network connection or last known good config.

usually i just need to click on safe mode and then it loads - i then reboot and it works fine

??????? I am so confused

Hi Doc
If you RIGHT click the My computer icon and select Properties,

and then select the Advanced button and select Startup - Recovery you will find an option to "Automatically Restart"

DESELECT this option (take tick out of box) and this will let you see what the error message is and stop your computer re-booting by itself
